    Nancy's Revenge boasts bright Green high ribbed leaves and once mature the leaves will produce cream white colored centers. Very dramatic appearance when planted in numbers. Mature height of 2'

    By: Florida Hill Nursery

    Nancy's Revenge is one of those rare introductions that immediately becomes the new industry standard. Introduced at the 2000 International Aroid Society meeting in Florida, this dazzling elephant ear became the most wanted plant at the meeting. Emerging solid green, the 25" wide light green leaves begin turning butter cream-yellow along the center. The color then pours down into the main vein creating a huge bold Y-pattern in the center of the leaf. Color then bursts into the lateral (side) veins and begins its march to the margins. Coloring starts in spring, shortly after the first leaves mature. It sends out lots of side stolons which will root into the soil where moisture is adequate. The more moisture the larger the plant will grow. This one one you can't stop looking at. Zone 7.
